Renee, Megan, and Kara, 
I am so saddened by your loss. I know that God has a plan for everything, but I also know it is very difficult to believe that during a time like this. Remember that his promises are true and He loves each of you beyond comprehension. I will continue to pray for peace that passes ALL understanding that only God can provide us. 
You are thought of and loved.
